If true, that's astonishing and pathetic. Hell, I'm an FO and I buy half wingers beers. YGBSM. I hope that rumor is dead wrong.

FNGs, welcome! Please wear your pin on your tie. We have a LOT of work to do.
Plus, that half wing really ties the room together.

I would say around a year or more (76T). I would highly recommend going 320 if you want IAH. You would get that basically right out of training. Best of luck and welcome!

Pathetic indeed. Got the IAH tidbit from a halfwinger who was sitting next to me at a pub on my layover in DEN. Said it rarely happened with IAH crews and was asking me if the tradition was dead. My F/O and I told him it wasn't and I promptly took care of his bill for him.

Shame that guys aren't doing the right thing with our new guys. Real chance to get this place going in the right direction, IMO.

I saw a Captain last week with a set of half wings on. I had to ask the question...he said he just liked free beer.
